A week or so after our date at the STL Up Late Show, I had a string of bad luck. You could tell I was slightly unnerved while we were on our date at Salt & Smoke. We had a bit of a wait so we went a few doors down to the candy and junk shop and you got that stale bacon. While we were waiting at the restaurant again, I told you about what had happened to earlier that week and you felt bad for me.
I was relieved that things didn’t feel off like the last date. I can’t remember what we ended up doing that evening but you offered to make me a lucky dinner and to also take me grocery shopping since my car needed some work. We ended up going grocery shopping not long after and the dinner was to follow.
It was incredibly sweet of you to offer. I felt bad that my bad luck rubbed off on you and you got your first speeding ticket since you were a teenager as we were heading to Global. I think one of my favorite shopping trips with you was when I helped you pick bedding at Target. That trip made me feel like we were becoming a legitimate couple despite not formally have that discussion.
